Should be an easy pub stomp up to where you belong if you are in 1.5k. Just call mid and counter pick theirs.... ezpz points
I went with a lich as axe against a cm/void, dominated the void so hard he had brown boots, MoM, and bkb by 35 minutes. We still lose because our bristle thinks hes a lategame carry and just farms jungle

Eh, i just jungle lycan, take rosh at 10, and splitpush, murdering anyone short of the entire enemy team trying to stop me. That, or pick LC, Kunkka, Xin, ect. and win mid and push. I just wanted to calibrate well so I don't have to put a lot of my time in it. Since I've calibrated, I've only lost one match and that's because my team was flaming me for pushing instead of fighting.

Fuck people who first pick AM and PA that cannot farm at all.
In order to rise from the trench, you must pick the hard carries and outfarm everyone in the match, and splitpush. The trench knows not how to counter splitpush, and if they only devote two or three people, you can kill them off and keep pushing with ease.
I don't really play jug often........ at the end of the game I understood why the other 3 "allies" kept doing stupid things over and over. Sigh
It seems your team was focusing too much on fighting and not farming, all sub 350 GPM and 450 XPM, you did the right thing by farming and I assume you pushed while the team was fighting, which is not that huge of a deal sith a wisp, since he can relocate you in to the fight if you need more power. A battlefury would help your pushing immensely, and would let you farm faster into boots of travel. Looking at the K/D/As it seems your team repetitively took bad fights and never learned. (Because rofl axe yolo never dies) I realize I'm shit and shouldn't be trying to hand out advice to players more skilled than me but I believe my input has potential to be helpful.
PL as well. Nothing against the player himself, he tried and was polite, but goddamn he was completely deadweight. We were leading something like 20-8, we should have crushed them so hard.
I random Leshrac, call mid, this CK goes mid because "leshrac is a terrible hero" and halves my XP and farm for the duration of the laning phase, I'm forced to out-push a fed Juggernaut, even though I can clear waves in a couple seconds my team decides not to push other lanes. Thank god this was Party MMR, I would shoot myself if a CK was the sole reason of a -26
fuck us east again, HOLY SHIT, i play between the hours of 10 to 1 am valve, EVERY SINGLE FUCKING night for the past week, i cant play on us east, fix your shit valve.
Fuck R/Dota2, seriously fuck them. This especially goes to the fucking retard who bragged about 18cs/min Scepter Treant and creating immense self delusion in pubs. This fucking Treant in my team demanded mid when he could have supported and ended up being outleveled by an Ember resulting in Ember having 20 min Phase+Drum+Fury.
Why do I get the most retarded carries all the time. I always fucking loose after taking two lanes just because our opponents have more carries. And they are so awful as well, that's the worst part. Fuck being stuck in 3k, this place is worse than hell.
i remember a game where we lost against 5 carries just because we did not push thanks to our shitty players or they delayed our push even if we took bottom rax. it was something like that.
dota 2 = learn how to play carry - get dagger - farm farm farm. who needs dark seer anymore.

I say this a lot, ingame, online (to friends, PM's and such)
I absolutely deplore reddit. It's a site where votes will completely deter any serious discussion, alongside a gold system.
I mean, I'll preface this with this: 4chan is fucking amazing. You disagree with me and be a dick? That's AWESOME. You SHOULD be allowed to do that, as I SHOULD be allowed to call you a raging faggot and tell you to go back to China/the basement.
Meanwhile, on Reddit, you just get downvoted and everyone thinks they're high and mighty for burying your comment. Like they've cleaned the streets of crime.
Also, there's so much junk comments that just get upvoted for no reason. Things that don't even relate to the thread.
Now, on to r/dota2.
I still browse it. I don't like it, I don't enjoy it, but by god, it's a source for news, and I use it. I enjoy 2 things about it: people who are ORIGINAL and talk about NEW builds, and artwork. I'm a sucker for artwork.
Other than those threads, I've actually seen someone say this before, "r/Dota2 is just a base of followers. People who blindly follow what pros/higher level players say, without thinking about what they're saying. They just tell new players all the same mistakes they did without thinking about it first. 'Oh, get tranquils on Axe, you don't need treads for treadswitching/early TP boots.' and then they just create more of a problem and keep the community of new players the exact same, using old builds. Instead of trying to teach, they just tell bounties to build simple regen items (which leads to bfury) spectre's to rush radiance, and AM's to always get battlefury, regardless of timing."
I'm also part of the reddit hate community, though.
Anyways, to actually talk about dota so my post doesn't get pruned cause I'm not talking about dota, I like Alchemist right now. He's insanely good at pushing a lane with acid spray, as it's just SO GOOD at melting creeps. Just after 2 waves, he has a good gold lead, and can totally buy some detection with it and deward. If you have good earlygame lineup with JUST 4, grab Alchemist and max acid spray. Push their shit in, straight to victory.
<3 alch
Edit: Forgot to mention the great Reddit-cide of subreddits.
By all means, I use reddit to check out cool gaming stuff (r/gaming is actually really amazing, it may say 6 mil subscribers, but I will wholeheartedly enjoy hearing about how you found your old gameboy, good on you)
BUT when a subreddit hits ~100k subscribers, everything goes to shit, every time.
I mean, this rule has never failed me, other than r/gaming, but I'm pretty sure it's a default subreddit or something.

I don't understand why valve thinks its acceptable to put 3k players with 5k players... That is not how dota teams are supposed to be balanced... Obviously some degree of variation is ok but 2k points?
Why do i have to loose time and mmr because some idiots abandon after first blood? why not just give -125 to the one who abandon and let others have 0?? At least in solo mm? But no i have to play 4v5 3v5 because maybe game will be salvaged. Seriously intentional feeding and abandoning on purpose should result in droping people to 0 mmr and take it from there.
